Sometimes, life holds nothing back. We’re totally overwhelmed. It’s all too much. Too much busy-ness, too much hurry, and too much stress. While you’re a master of taking care of everything and everyone around you, taking care of YOU is often forgotten. And your regular pattern of “go, go, go…” leads to anxiety, burnout, or trauma. And so, you’re just…exhausted. You know something has to change. You know life has more to offer. But you’re not sure where to start.

Our experiences can create a template for who we believe we are and who we believe we can or should become. Together let’s mix up that template. These experiences come in all forms, shades, shapes, and sizes. I believe therapy and therapeutic approaches should be no different. You are uniquely you and the expert on your life, and I am here to help support and provide you with a safe, thoughtful, and kind environment. A space where you can identify your needs, discover your voice, and begin making the changes that matter to you.

Therapy is for everyone. Some attend due to symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other specific disorders; others seek help when experiencing social, familial, academic, or occupational difficulties; and still others pursue therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their purpose. While the path of every individual is unique, all can benefit from feeling seen, heard, understood, and validated; along with learning healthy coping mechanisms; developing communication and problem-solving skills to successfully address present and future challenges; and accomplishing objectives on the path to achieving self-actualization.

Sometime you get to a point where you feel really stuck, and unable to figure out how to make a change or how to feel better. Whether its persistent anxiety, sadness, or something else, it can help to figure out what the root of the struggle is about. I like to focus on childhood attachments, passed down generational traumas, and experiences in your life that has laid down patterns that are hard to break out of. Sometimes we need to understand the why, then it's easier to figure out a way through. But you don't have to do that alone, and honestly we weren't made to handle our problems in isolation. Everyone needs support.
